    It’s really quiet but also very a 2 min walk to all the restaurants in downtown Tulum. They were really responsive and helpful with suggestions. It’s not a luxury hotel which is obvious given the price. Great value for money! Also close to the colectivos (buses) that take you to the beach and the ruins

    Air conditioner was very noisy and rattling and ceiling fan would not turn on. They moved us to another room which was better.

    Very nice staff and quiet location. Nice room, courtyard and pool area.

    Once of the bed mattress was not comfortable and some pieces of furniture were not practical. The decorations can be better. The TV screen was very small.

    The staff was very kind and gave us everything we needed and they even gave us a new years present. The location was good because it was near downtown and the jaguar park.

    During one of the days we stayed to relax in the room the WIFI was not available. The property manager was working with the company to try to fix it, but the WIFI never came back on.

    The location was excellent it was within walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants and Tulum Avenue. The staff were fantastic and kind, very attentive to our needs. Our family fell very safe at this property. Our Villa was a good size and had everything we needed when we made meals. Having a pool on the property was a plus. I definitely recommend this property to families.

    Lovely apartment with a nice pool close to the centre of town and not far from the ruins. We were only there 2 nights so didn't get a chance to use all the facilities but would have done if we'd been staying longer.

    In the first evening we didn’t have hot water in the shower, but after telling this to the staff they fixed it right away and we had boiling hot water till the end of our stay.

    Getting morning coffee is a nice touch

    The beds were a bit hard and uneven. Wish the Mai room had AC, but when we really needed it, we retreated to the bedroom.

    The staff were caring and kind. The garden was gorgeous, the pool which the kids loved was refreshing. The location close to Super Aki, colectivo stop and Tulum ruins was excellent.

    Cleanliness should be improved - spider webs on the walls and ceilings, stauned sheets and towels (even after we requested change) and we are not sure if there was mold in the bathroom which was just painted over (dark stains shining through)

    Nice outdoor area, near to the main road but still very quiet.

    -The bathroom window was not able to remain closed/locked due to damage on handled. -Water on shower was getting out in a very low amount, making showering harder; so, I had to unscrew the water output and clean it well, because it had a lot of rust and contamination obstructing the water to come out properly. After I cleaned it, shower was great.

    Everything. :)

    it feels a bit rugged from the street but once you enter it’s fine .

    It’s very far from the beach and the main hotel/touristic area and taxis in the area are kinda of expensive, so it makes it hard to really get to know the city on your own. The washbasin in our room needed to be fixed.

    This is a nice option if you are looking for an economic stay relatively close to Tulum’s ruins. There is a supermarket close by and some restaurants as well. The staff is very nice and accommodating.

    The things in the kitchen weren't really clean. There was a lot of humidity in the apartment. There were giant cockroaches coming out of the bathroom sink.

    Staff was really helpful, when we complained about the apartment not looking like the one we booked, they opened an extra area for us. It was in a good location near restaurants, cafes and a supermarket.

    Couch in room was stained. Ants in bathroom. Bed / pillows very uncomfortable. No tv . Window above bed wouldn’t close all the way, people on patio directly behind the room smoked and played loud music. Smoke was coming into our room ( disgusting) light from their patio was illuminating our room because there is no curtain on window above bed. You get what you pay for .

    Friendly check in person

    Nothing to comment on here. Everything was great and really good value. We were expecting it to be noisy given the location but it felt so peaceful!

    Location was brilliant - easy access to many restaurants and a simple drive from Cancun with plenty of parking. It was lovely to have a balcony and fridge so we could enjoy drinks in the sun during the evenings. Staff were friendly and helpful too!
